Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

This is so melodramatic! Even a third-rate novelist wouldn't write a plot like this, would they?

Reality is indeed much more fantastical than fiction; in reality, logic simply doesn't apply.

Daigo's expression was indescribable: "This is the chief who has cooperated with our family for many years. I just can't understand it."

"He seems like a completely different person; he's determined to leave the company."

"The board thought he wanted to retire, but they never expected that he would join Silver's side."

"The group was greatly affected by this. Not to mention the stock price, even other Poké Ball designers have chosen to switch jobs."

"Other business segments were also affected. Sigh."

Daigo looked somewhat dejected: "Running a company is much harder than battling. It's really exhausting."

Xia Ye didn't know what to say at this moment. He really couldn't understand the troubles of this young nobleman. Damn it!

Then he suddenly noticed the key point: "Wait a minute, Daigo-san, are you saying that the chief seems like a completely different person?"

"In which aspects—personality, behavior, habits, preferences, etc.—have changed?"

Daigo recalled for a moment: "It seems that all of the aspects you mentioned are involved."

Natsuno's expression suddenly changed: "Daigo, do you think it could be deliberate?"

Chapter 254 Just a Hair

"Or is it achieved through methods like Pokémon? Like Hypnos."

Daigo's expression turned serious at this moment: "This type of method was banned by law many years ago."

"But I do not rule out this possibility. I did have my doubts afterward, but it is no longer possible to verify them."

Natsuno shrugged: "Then there's really nothing we can do."

Daigo smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me. I appreciate your kind gesture."

"Actually, it's not that bad. Thanks to you, at least in scientific research, our group is second to none in gene technology."

"The engineers are all working hard. Once the gene editing device is available, I think everyone's confidence will return."

"After all, completing the genetic techniques of mature individuals is a wish of many people."

Xia Ye nodded: "That's true. Good luck to you guys. I'm going to the lab."

There's no need to rush him now; Daigo is much more attentive to the enhancement device than he is.

Following the signs, I arrived at the lab, where Professor Oak was talking to Anthony, spittle flying everywhere.

He didn't even notice when Natsuno arrived, his hand movements were wide and sweeping, as if he were engaged in a battle.

Natsuno quietly peeked over to listen and found out they were talking about Articuno.

Thinking of the two feathers in his pocket, Natsuno took out the one that Articuno had given him.

There were countless hairs arranged on a feather. Xia Ye cut off a piece of hair and put it into the second-generation machine for sequencing.

Looking at the feather in his hand, which was almost undamaged, Natsuno wanted to put it back in his pocket.

Unexpectedly, a hand reached out from the side and took it away. It turned out that the commotion had also attracted the attention of the two doctors.

After taking the feather, Oki exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, is that an Articuno feather?"

I held it in my hand and examined it carefully, then stroked it a few times, feeling its warmth.

"Wow, it's not that extremely cold to the touch? It only feels slightly cool. That's amazing."

Natsuno nodded: "Yeah, my butt almost froze when I first sat on Articuno's back."

"I never expected that a single feather would only bring a slight chill. Is this what they mean by 'little things add up'?"

The two PhD students watched as the second-generation sequencing machine began sequencing, their hearts filled with excitement.

"I didn't expect that the mystery of legendary Pokémon has already begun to be unveiled. I'm getting a little restless."

Daiki carefully handed the feather back to Natsuno.

"Natsuno, you must take good care of these feathers; they are valuable research samples."

But when he saw Natsuno simply stuff it into his pocket, his pupils dilated.

Natsuno waved his hand and said, "It's just a feather from Articuno. If you don't have one, just go and ask for another."

"I'm going to give this feather to Giovanni so he can create Mewtwo. It's not something particularly important."

The two doctors were startled. Daiki frowned and asked, "Have you thought this through?"

Natsuno nodded seriously: Please, if it's an ice feather, I certainly won't give it to you because it comes with the power of authority.

But these are just feathers from an ordinary frozen bird, so they're not very significant.

"The genetic information inside contains all sorts of fantastical genes, which may have some reference value, but as for practical significance..."

"The greatest use of these feathers is that they allowed us to complete gene sequencing and obtain information about the frozen bird."

Xia Ye shrugged, almost thinking that the feather was completely useless.

As we were talking, the sequencer had already finished.

The two PhDs disregarded everything else and quickly began genetic analysis.

The readily available database contains various traits, moves, and corresponding gene sequences, which is very convenient.

"Its type is Ice/Flying, its ability is confirmed to be Snow Cloak, and it also has a move pool..."

He conveyed all the information about Articuno in just a few words, demonstrating amazing efficiency.

Except for the moves learned by the learning device, everything else has been figured out.

Natsuno clapped enthusiastically: "So it seems that everyone has already analyzed the genes of most Pokémon?"

Oak waved his hand, but his face couldn't hide his smugness: "The characteristics and moves have been thoroughly analyzed."

"Of course, information about legendary Pokémon is still unknown. This Articuno gene is the first piece of legendary gene information."

"Similarly, the Mythical Pokémon are also elusive, and we only have one copy."

"It's the Dream Gene Information that you had Xiao Huan re-transcribe the genetic code to obtain."

Natsuno nodded. He had asked Huan to do this secretly, since it was probably difficult to copy Mew's genetic sample from Team Rocket.

He still has a piece of the dream hair in his hand, but using a sequencer is not as fast as directly transcribing the code back.

Oki then looked at Natsuno: "Should we release the information about Articuno or keep it a secret for now?"

Natsuno thought for a moment and noticed the key point: "Speaking of confidentiality, how is the database protected?"

Daiki chuckled and called out to the screen, "Devin 1, come out and answer me."

At that moment, the screen emitted light, and a Polygon suddenly appeared.

Xiao Huan seemed to have sensed something at this moment and ran out of Xia Ye's phone.

The two little guys greeted each other, and Xiao Huan even activated her long-lost transformation move.

To the astonishment of the two doctors, Xiao Huan transformed into a multi-faceted version of a Tutu dog.

Devon 1 suddenly crashed, its pupils dizzying: "Analyzing...unable to understand...requesting database connection...connection analysis in progress...no relevant cases..."

It was the first time the two doctors had met, and their chins were so clenched that they had to manually close them.

"Natsuno, is this...right?"

The two doctors examined Xiao Huan from all sides, using a variety of methods.

They would occasionally discuss things with each other, leaving Natsuno out in the cold.

Xia Ye then walked to the side and woke up the malfunctioning Devon 1: "Wake up, listen to me."

"Xiao Huan will be recorded as a special individual and stored in a top-secret file. No one except members of the Academic Committee has the right to view it."

Devon 1's eyes suddenly changed, emitting a faint light as it scanned Natsuno, its voice becoming serious.

"Identity verification in progress... Confirmed, highest privileges activated, corresponding instructions completed."

Natsuno inquired about the corresponding security measures and received a reply.

It turns out that Akihabara uses Polygons to form a network defense line, and the commands are all written into the code, making it absolutely reliable.

"The multi-faceted beasts subsequently released to the public will not have the ability to traverse firewalls and will contain location code."

"Once the multi-faceted beast is fully formed, its code will be impossible to modify manually, ensuring network security."

Natsuno nodded, unable to resist giving a thumbs-up to the meticulous Dr. Akihabara.

Meanwhile, the two doctors' research on Xiao Huan has also come to a temporary end.

"Although it is indeed a transformation technique, it has serious flaws. Based on what Natsuno said, it can only be considered an accidental product."

The two shook their heads. At this moment, Xiao Huan transformed back into the form of a Polygon, becoming very obedient.

Oki looked at Natsuno again: "When do you plan to announce your theory of evolution?"

Chapter 255: A Shock That Lasted a Whole Year

Upon hearing the key point of this trip, Natsuno's heart tightened involuntarily.

But soon he relaxed: "Actually, I wanted you to announce it directly on my behalf."

"Even if I'm stuck at Team Rocket's island base, you guys can just take care of it for me."

After finishing speaking, Natsuno glanced at the Z2 that was hidden on his shoulder; this was his original plan.

The Guardian is supposed to be monitoring me, right? Why don't I just have someone else announce it?

With Zygard cells spread all over the world, it's impossible to monitor so many people at the same time; in most cases, they can only review past footage.

If you were to observe hundreds or thousands of cells at once, wouldn't your brain explode?

However, by a twist of fate, Oki and the others did not announce it directly, but left it to Natsuno.

Fortunately, Z2's thinking was gradually influenced and changed; he no longer opposed it.

'Cunning humans!'
